Flu Epidemic
Shows Decline;
Peak Reached
Latest developments in the virus
X epidemic that swept the campus
last week show definite signs of a .
lull, Dr. F. N. Miller said yesterday.
With only six cases of influenza
now hsopitalized in the infirmary,
Dr. Miller, director of the health
service, continued, there is reason
to believe that the epidemic may
be dying out entirely.
Immunizing shots had been ad
ministered to 142 students by late
Monday. Infirmary spokesmen re
port that a few more students "are
still straggling in for shots.”
Delayed Action
Preventative treatment, however,
is not responsible for the abate
ment of the disease, Dr. Miller em
phasized. The serum does not take
effect for two weeks after admin
istration, and shots were not given
until last Wednesday.
Peak of the epidemic was reached
last Thursday, health service of
ficials believed, with 24 cases hos
pitalized in the infirmary filling
the building to capacity. (
Only half of the twelve patients
currently in the health center are
flu victims, Dr. Miller said. The
twelve are:
Louise Meade, Naida Fishback,
Sarah Timmens, Eva Johnson,
Frank E. Blackly, Marv Rasmus
sen, Kenneth Osen, Mortimer Boni
me, Lucius Forbes, Louis Peelz,
and James Curley.
